Abstract

Irradiation of the posterior segment of the eye resulting from radiotherapy either of local lesions or of extraocular lesions of the adjacent regions(carcinoma of the antrum and nose) has been known to produce delayed retinal vascular changes which develop many months or years after actual irradiation, and may cause disturbances of vision. The authors experienced a case of radiation retinopathy OS in a 37 year old male who received radiotherapy for olfactory neuroblastoma about 9 months ago.
